interchangeableness

/ˌɪnɝˈtʃeɪndʒəbəɫnəs/ noun

The quality of being interchangeable.

Word Origin From Latin inter- 'between' and cambire 'to exchange, barter' — interchangeable means 'able to be exchanged between.' The breakdown inter+change+able+ness: inter- (between), change (exchange), -able, -ness. The root cambire is from PIE *kamb- 'to bend, curve,' perhaps from the bending of a trade? So interchangeableness is the state of being mutually exchangeable, things that can swap places.
